Hey, midnight, I want this sadness to disappear I no longer need (more of) this violence-filled childish behavior Have some sympathy for me, even for just a bit

Hey, midnight, I really really tried my best To not complain and say even one thing when I'm face to face with someone (But I feel like) I'm struggling, I'm failing, I'm falling down

I can't take it anymore/I'm over my limit!

Aa everyone's rolling and shout(ing) in the midnight An unavoidable one-eyed headlight (That light) burns through the darkness Rolling and shout(ing) in the midnight Pretending not to know where the midnight wind blows Midnight

Rolling and shout(ing) in the midnight An unavoidable one-eyed headlight (That light) burns through the darkness Rolling and shout(ing) in the midnight I can't run away, all I can do is wait Rolling and shout(ing) in the midnight

The streetlights along the campus (acts like a) searchlight for the drunk people Feeling so frustrated as if they're (being chased) in a escape drama A timeline mixed with lots of tears A silent madness, the absurdity of it all - they all overflow Rolling and shout(ing) in the midnight (like) A Hittite longing for someone* A hero that can bring in the dawn Help me Help me Help me Help me

Aa everyone's rolling and shout(ing) in the midnight An unavoidable one-eyed headlight (That light) burns through the darkness Rolling and shout(ing) in the midnight Pretending not to know where the midnight wind blows Midnight

Rolling and shout(ing) in the midnight An unavoidable one-eyed headlight (That light) burns through the darkness Rolling and shout(ing) in the midnight I can't run away, all I can do is wait (as) The midnight casts its curse I can't run away, all I can do is wait Rolling and shout in the midnight

T/N *This concept is hard to explain - suddenly needed to read historical articles just to get the context for this :)) But I guess in simple terms, these two lines just pertains to a person seeking help from a higher being during their most trying times (i.e. God/s). Just read this if you want additional context.

真夜中の白鳥 by deadman, kanji, romaji & translation [ENG]

Kanji

根底，不安定、惰性の現状で無関心

肯定，不透明、希望も失望も自己の理由

道理、不条理、醜悪さの根源は日常

公正、異常性、残虐さに慣れて他人の事

あぁ白鳥 黒い水を浴びる

血の薫る湖

もう壊して仕舞おう

地獄の終わり 見届けていて

繋いだその手 捕まえていてね

好きさ love you love you

もう泣かなくてもいい

愛するものを離さないでね

見届けていて 灰になる世界の終わり

罠に掛かるbambino

All lives are worth the same as any other

耳の無い箱庭うさぎ

All lives are worth the same as any other

もう壊して仕舞おう

地獄の終わり 見届けていて

繋いだその手 捕まえていてね

好きさ love you love you

Translation [ENG] - Swan of Midnight

Inertia from the core, insecurity, habitual current state

One's motives are affirmation, obscurity, both aspiration and disappointment

Everyday life is the core of ugliness, reason, absurd

Getting used to cruelty, justice, abnormality around

Oh, a swan submerged in black water

Blood scented lake

Let’s wreck it already

Making sure of the end of Hell

Catching onto those chained hands

I love you love you love you

You don’t need to cry anymore

Don’t let go of what you love, alright?

Making sure that the world will turn to ash

Caught in a trap bambino*

All lives are worth the same as any other

Miniature rabbit without ears

All lives are worth the same as any other

Let’s wreck it already

Making sure of the end of Hell

Catching onto those chained hands

I love you love you love you

You don’t need to cry anymore

Don’t let go of what you love, alright?

Making sure that the world will turn to ash

[translation+lyrics] 導黒のミアルカ Act: I

Yeah I'm like 6 months late, idk, blame Zelda, or life itself, idk. Better late than never I guess. This album is about a girl and her cat. Or maybe it's the other way around? For a two-parter though there's really not much story going on in this one it's pretty much all setup for the next one so don't expect an abrupt cliffhanger or anything like that. I actually wasn't impressed at first but now I find myself constantly humming every other track throughout the day, they're all pretty good.

On the production side Rena is once again absent from this album so I'm actually rather worried for her at this point, I really hope she's just happy doing something else and they're saying health issues only as a façade. The new vocalist Ruru is pretty good though, Luna and Risa Yuzuki are also really good as usual. By the way I had the chance to see their last live concert, the one they streamed, they really looked amazing on that, Yuzuki Risa looked very cute and Luna was perfection just as I expected. Anyway, lyrics down below and see you all next time.

--------------------------

Composer for all tracks: リゼ

偽りの夜曲 (itsuwari no serenade, Serenade of Falsehood)

Vocals: Ruru

hakushu kassai yozora no moto maku ga oriru butoukai matataku hoshi kanaderu oto kisokutachi wa odoritsutsuke

The curtain draws to much applause on a dance ball below the night sky As aristocrats dance under twinkling stars to the beat of the music

watashi no te kuchitsukeshite niyari to suru nikuki ou karamaru me to hohoemu kuchi sotto itsuwari shinobasete

A malicious king holds on to my hand and kisses it Giving me a look as my lips turn to a false smile

yokubou uzumaku utage wa mada mada tsutsuku odorimashou

The feast goes on and on as it keeps drowning in greed The dancing must go on

yami wo matou sekai de yuiitsu kagayaku basho wa kono yo no hate nanoka mata wa maboroshi ka kuroki akuma wo daite futeki na emi ukaberu "Watashi dake no mono" kodou wa dare ni mo tomerarenai

The only glistening place in this world filled with darkness Is it really part of this world or is it a mirage This dark demon holds onto me as he brings up a twisted smile “You’re mine and mine only” he says as my heartbeat would not stop

hakushu kassai yozora no moto maku ga oriru butoukai matataku hoshi kanaderu oto kisokutachi wa odoritsutsuke

The curtain draws to much applause on a dance ball below the night sky As aristocrats dance under twinkling stars to the beat of the music

ah shiramiyuku sora wa utage no owari wo tsugeru terasarete

The brightening sky marks the end of the feast As it shines brightly

kuroki anata wo daite asahi to tomo ni chikau futari issho naraba doko he demo yukeru to kotaeru you ni nakugoe soba de mitsumeru hitomi wa anata dake no mono ano hi no mama　no futari dake no daremo shiranai sugao datta

To you shadowy one I vow on this morning That alongside I will go anywhere you may go Anywhere your eyes may cry I will be there by your side I’m only yours Just the two of us as we’ve been on this day For no one else knows your true face

白と黒が紡ぐ夜( shiro to kuro ga tsumugu yoru, The night weaved by white and black)

Vocals: Risa Yuzuki, Luna

furitsumoriyuku yuki wa hakuiki wo shiro ni somete furueru hosoi ude ni kago no naka hanataba kakaete

The snow piles on as every breath drawn turns to white Those trembling slim arms carry on them a bouquet of flowers

doredake koe wo kaketemo shisen sae mo todokazu fujouri na kono sekai de tooku wo mitsumete tatazumu

No matter where your voice may be carried to, your sight can’t fixate on anything In this unreasonable world I stand alone in the distance

hashiri yuku hitonami ni yoroke ashi wo torare chirabaru watashi no kokoro wa setsunaku

As the crowd rushes in my feet stagger My torn heart remains broken

shiroi yuki wa marude watashi wo keshisaru you ni sora wa ikioi wo mashite furisosogu namida umoreteyuku hanatabatachi itami wo hiroi atsume namida nugui arukidasu tada yoru wo akasu tame ni

It’s as if the white snow is erasing my existence As clamor fills the skies my tears continue to drop The scattered flowers spread much like my grief I walk on as I wipe my tears to make it until dawn

hi mo kure hajimete watashi wa shioreta hanataba kakaete sobieru shiro ni se wo muke furatsuku ashi de arukeba

The sun sets as I carry these flowers A castle towers behind me as my feet stagger

fukitsu dato nonoshirare uzukumaru kuroneko sono me wa watashi no you de setsunaku

An ominous cat lies in the way It’s eyes filled with grief just like mine

yuki ni uzumoreta anata wo dakiagete tatta hitokire no pan wo yorisoi wakeau moshimo yukuate ga nai nara… to tsuyoku dakishimeru ureshisou ni naku anata marude kokoro tsutawaru you ni

I pick him up from the pile of snow Sharing a piece of bread with him Holding him tightly wondering if it has anywhere to return to He let out a small cry, as if telling me he was happy for this

shiroi yuki ga hikiyoseta anata ni namae natsukete semai koya no naka futari yorisoi hohoemu areyuku sora fubuku yami ga sekai wo tsutsumou tomo dakishimeau futari ni wa hajimete no nukumori datta

I named him Luka amidst the white snow And within a narrow shed we smiled together We were together through storming skies and chilling nights Holding each other was the first warmth we had ever felt

Andante Con Moto

Vocals: Luna

kirakira to kagayaku taiyou ni me wo samaseba sora wa aoku sunde anata ga tonari ni iru dake de mou tsurai koto mo wasurerareta

I wake up to the radiant shining sun as the sky is filled with blue Just being by your side made me forget all the bitter things

kyou mo hanataba wo kakaete itsumono basho he mukaou to tobira akeru to watashi yori saki ni Ruka wa kakedasu

Once again today I carry a bouquet, heading to the same place as ever And Luka rushes ahead of me as the door opens

kuroku kagayaki nagara hashiridashite mitakoto mo nai basho made suru to naze ka hitobito wa atsumatte manzoku sou ni warau

He dashes through a place he’s never seen before Luka seemed happy seeing so many people gathered

tsugi no hi mo mata sono tsugi no hi mo ruka ni shitagatte tsuiteikeba fushigi na chikara aru no darouka onaka wo sukaseru hi wa naku natta

The following days Luka always led the way Perhaps he had some mysterious power for there was never a day I went hungry

kyou wa itsumo yori mo tooku hanareta chi he jishin arige ni aruki hajimeta donna koto ga okoru no darou ka to mune wo odorasete tsuite ikeba

Today we walked even further than usual to a place I don’t know I just followed him excited to know what I would see

aruku mishiranu kifujin no ashimoto ni kagayaku shiruku ni kamitsuki watashi wa awatete kakeyori hirei wo wabita

He bit on some fancy silk at the feet of a noble woman So I rushed over to apologize

yawaraka na kao de kochira wo mite kinishinaide to waratta sono hitomi wa totemo itooshisou de tsutsumikomu you de boroboro no mi nari wo shita watashi no kao wo jitto nozokikomi me wo mihiraki furueru kuchibiru de watashi ni toikaketa

She laughed and said it was no issue Her kind eyes filled me with warmth She stared at my frail body that seemed like it would fall apart She opened her eyes wide and asked

「moshikashite anata, Mia?」

“Is that you, Mia?”

sono hi kara futari dake no sekai wa sugata wo kaeta

And from that day forward our world changed entirely

道黒のミアルカ (Doukoku no MiaLuca, MiaLuca of the black path)

Vocals: Risa Yuzuki

irotoridori no bara ni mi wo tsutsumu watashi no sadame wa hisoka ni idaku omoi karen na otome ni kakushite

I was fated to be embraced by colorful flowers A fair maiden who kept her feelings out of sight

kagami wo mireba soko ni uzuyogoreta hana wa utsuranai tsuyameku kami wo yurasu karen na otome ga warau

What I see in the mirror is not a sullied flower But rather a smiling maiden with glistening hair

utsukushiki bara no hana wo minna torimaku you ni mote hayashi ai wo sasayaku busama ni

A beautiful rose that everyone gathers around of Whispering their love in vain

daremo ga akogareru hanayaka na sekai ni akireta marude chikara ni hirefusu dake ne sagesumu hitomi de azawaratteita no ni ima wa meshitsukai no you de aware ne

A tiresome life that anyone would want In which everyone just kneeled to the powerful Who scornfully laugh at them As if they were simply there to serve

ki wo hiku tame chikatsuki watashi ni wa me wo sorasarete ruka ni wa kamitsukareru sugata wa jitsu ni kokkei ne

Even if approached for attention I would simply look away And if Luka bites you I would find that funny

noraneko ga baketawane to kage de wa warau keredo me ga aeba ai wo sasayaku busama ni

I laugh from the shade at the stray cat in disguise But I'd whisper with love when our eyes meet

daremo ga akogareru hanayaka na sekai no ura de wa kare no chikara ni hirefusu dake ne muhon no utagai wo kakerareta hotori wa tsunoru munen ni samayoi tsutsukeru

In the underside of that beautiful world anyone would want Everyone bows to the king’s power My parents were wanted for treason And I was left to wander in regret

kazoekirenu hodo sashidasareta houseki demo totemo sonna mono ja manzoku shinai wa watashi ga hoshii no wa tada hitotsu anata dake Ruka to tomo ni kono omoi moyasu wa

Even if countless jewels were offered to me I wouldn’t be satisfied with that The only thing I’m after is the king’s very own life That desire burns fiercely within both Luka and I.

妖瞳の悪魔 (Youdou no kuroneko, The demon with bewitching eyes)

Vocals: Ruru

sekai wa kurayami tsutsumarete koyoi mo hibiki wataru dareka no sakebi ga higeki no kioku wa yobiokosare afureru omoi ni furueru watashi no chi wa

A world covered in darkness, once again a scream can be heard echoing Reminding me of tragic memories, those feelings making my blood curl

kusuriyubi ni hikaru aoki houseki watashi no kokoro wa jubaku wo tokihanatte kuroku kageru unmei wo dakiagete 「mousugu kono yo wa watashitachi dake no mono」

An azure jewel shines on my ring finger, my heart is released from it’s curse Embracing this darkening fate, “soon this world will be solely ours”

hontou ni fushigi na ko ne yogoto heya wo nukedashite wa mitakoto mo nai tobira he izanaware shizuka ni tomoshibi no naka he

This truly mysterious child would sneak away every night Through the alluring door, amidst calm fire lights

akuma to yobareta hitomi ga atama wo yogiru mujakisa no ura ni hisomu kagami no naka yami wo saku sono koe ni risei wo ubawareteite mo ano hi anata to deatta sono shunkan kara watashi wo uzumaku you ni futari wo tsunagu ito wa karamariau shuuen wo tomo ni

Hiding behind an innocent demeanor, I know those are a devil’s eyes A voice from the mirror cuts through the darkness, robbing me of reason I’ve been circling around you since that fateful moment in which we met The thread that joins us will bind us until our doom

Hontou ni fushigi na ko ne hitori heya wo nukedashite wa Mitakoto mo nai tsurugi wo tazusaete shizuka ni watashi wo mitsumeru

This truly mysterious child would sneak away on his own Wielding a blade I’ve never seen, calmly looking at me

akuma to yobareta hitomi ga atama wo yogiru mujakisa no ura ni hisomu kagami no naka yami wo saku sono koe ni risei wo ubawareteite mo tatoe anata ni ayatsurareteita toshitemo shisen wa somuketa mama de futari wo tsunagu ito wa karamari au jigoku he to tomo ni

Hiding behind an innocent demeanor, I know those are a devil’s eyes A voice from the mirror cuts through the darkness, robbing me of reason Even if you’re only using me, I’ll walk down this path with you The thread that joins us will bind us all the way down to hell

I don't like tl notes but I guess it's worth adding: 道黒 (doukoku) isn't a real word, it's a compound made from Road (道) and Black (黒), and it's read like 慟哭 (doukoku, lament). Also the song 妖瞳の悪魔, the 悪魔 (demon) shows くろねこ(black cat) as the reading, basically saying that the cat is a demon.

cadode - 境目だらけ (Sakaime darake) - Lyrics

song (spotify) Japanese/Romaji/English lyrics under the cut

波の向こうに届きそう 逆巻く時間のように ありあまる不条理 聞き返しても答えない

入道雲を眺めている僕らの かたわらには影法師 会いたいなら呼んで もう泣いたりしないでくれよ いつかは辿り着くから

来年の夏が来ることも 覚えていないことも 許しておくれ 僕らは行くね 途切れないさよならを 呼び声に引かれて

互いにとけあうように　 時を繰り返して　今更

さかいめだらけの夏が　少し恋しくなる 瞬いている　遠い花火が 影を作るよ もがきながら生きていたいだけ 知らなかった　明日が来るなんて

毎日眺めてたはずの空は いつの間にか遠く彼方 ただいまって言った この海の向こう いつかは辿り着くかな

互いにとけあうように　 時を繰り返して　今更 さかいめだらけの君に　何が言えるのかな まだ鳴いてる　ひぐらしの音が 夜を迎える もがきながら生きていたいだけ 君以外は　知らないよどうせ

引いていく波際 輝くものがまだ　 見える気がするんだ

互いにとけあうように　 時を繰り返して　今更 さかいめだらけの夏が　少し恋しくなる 瞬いている　遠い花火が 影を作るよ もがきながら生きていたいだけ 知らなかった　明日が来るなんて

I feel like I can reach the other side of these waves Just as how time surges on, you can ask me over and over why the world is so illogical, and I won’t be able to tell you

As we gaze up at the thunderhead clouds, our shadows stretch out beside us If you wanna see me, just say the word Please don’t cry anymore I know we’ll get there one day

Please forgive me for the fact next summer will come, and all the things I’ve forgotten Time for us to go We’re drawn to that voice shouting out an uninterrupted goodbye

Please let us rewind time so we can be together, though it may be too late

That summer full of barriers is now a fond memory The flickering fireworks in the distance make us cast shadows I just want to struggle and survive I didn’t care if tomorrow ever came

That sky I had gazed at every day at some point suddenly seemed so much farther away I wonder if I’ll ever reach the other side of this sea and be able to say “I’m home”

Please let us rewind time so we can be together, though it may be too late What can I say to you when you have so many walls up? They keep singing; the cicada’s sound welcomes the night I just want to struggle and survive I don’t care about anything but you, anyway

The waves recede; I feel like I can still see something shining

Please let us rewind time so we can be together, though it may be too late That summer full of barriers is now a fond memory The flickering fireworks in the distance make us cast shadows I just want to struggle and survive I didn’t care if tomorrow ever came

I did not translate this myself, the translation is from the official music video. I only did the romaji transcription :D

[stanninghigedan]

Subtitle

Lmao. I'm not even sure why I'm posting this translation - official subs are actually available on the Subtitle video on YouTube. Maybe because I got a lot more confused with the translation? There were some things in the translation that didn't make sense to me, so I tried to break it down for myself. Also I wanted to practice (as usual) my reading, as well as my (very rusty) translating skills, so yeah, I guess this is my answer why I'm posting this here HAHA.

IDK if this will really help in better understanding the message of the song, but hopefully it does make you appreciate the song more. I tried to put more context on the translation - I was trying to translate it with the context of the drama silent in my mind.

「凍りついた心には太陽を」　そして「僕が君にとってそのポジションを」 そんなだいぶ傲慢な思い込みを拗らせてたんだよ　ごめんね　笑ってやって 火傷しそうなほどのポジティブの　冷たさと残酷さに気付いたんだよ きっと君に渡したいものはもっとひんやり熱いもの

綺麗事じゃないけど　綺麗で揺るぎないもの うわべよりも胸の奥の奥を温めるもの 理想だけはあるけど　心のどこ探しても　まるで見つからないんだよ

伝えたい伝わらない　その不条理が今　キツく縛りつけるんだよ 臆病な僕の　この一挙手一投足を

言葉はまるで雪の結晶　君にプレゼントしたくても 夢中になればなるほどに　形は崩れ落ちて溶けていって　消えてしまうけど でも僕が選ぶ言葉が　そこに託された想いが 君の胸を震わすのを　諦められない　愛してるよりも愛が届くまで もう少しだけ待ってて

薄着でただそばに立ってても　不必要に汗をかいてしまう僕なんかもう どうしたって生温くて君を痛めつけてしまうのだろう

「手のひらが熱いほど心は冷たいんでしょう？」 冗談でもそんな残酷なこと言わないでよ 別に言えばいいけど　全人生を賭けても　ちゃんと覆さしてよ

救いたい＝救われたい　このイコールが今　優しく剥がしていくんだよ 堅い理論武装　プライドの過剰包装を

正しさよりも優しさが欲しい　そしてそれを受け取れるのは イルミネーションみたいな　不特定多数じゃなくてただ1人 君であってほしい

かけた言葉で　割れたヒビを直そうとして 足しすぎた熱量で　引かれてしまったカーテン そんな失敗作を　重ねて　重ねて　重ねて 見つけたいんだいつか　最高の一言一句を

言葉はまるで雪の結晶　君にプレゼントしたとして 時間が経ってしまえば大抵　記憶から溢れ落ちて溶けていって 消えてしまう　でも 絶えず僕らのストーリーに　添えられた字幕のように 思い返した時　不意に目をやる時に 君の胸を震わすもの　探し続けたい　愛してるよりも愛が届くまで もう少しだけ待ってて

言葉など何も欲しくないほど　悲しみに凍てつく夜でも ��手に君のそばで　あれこれと考えてる　雪が溶けても残ってる

"The sun to warm a frozen heart" and then saying "I'm gonna be in that position (sun) for you" Those prideful assumptions just made things worse - I'm sorry, please smile for me again I've come to realize that amidst the coldness and harshness, there's so much positivity that it feels like burning Surely, the thing I want to give you is something more warm.*

(That thing I wanted to give you) It's not just things that'll please you - it's something more beautiful and consistent It's something that warms the very depths of the heart more than what's outside It's something ideal, but no matter where I look in my heart, I can't find it

There are things I want to tell you, but I can't get them across - this inconsistency binds me too much right now Each and every move I make (just shows how much) of a coward I am

Even though I wanted to give you these snowflake-like words as a present (But) the more I dream and get carried away, the more its form crumbles, melts, and disappears But I choose these words - those to which I've entrusted my feelings with Rather than just loving you on my own, I'll make sure this love reaches you - I can't give up until you feel these feelings, too (So) Please wait just a little bit longer

Even if I just stand right beside you, lightly dressed,I get unnecessarily sweaty No matter what I do, it will probably just be half-hearted and will end up hurting you completely

"The warmer the palm of one's hand is, the colder his heart, right?" Please don’t say such harsh words even though it's a joke You may say that it's nothing, but I will do everything to reverse this, even if I have to bet my whole life for it

I want to save = I want to be saved - this equal sign gently tears off All these stubborn logical explanations that's overly wrapped around this pride of mine

Rather than being right, I want kindness more - and I want to receive that Not from a lot of people (as many as the twinkling lights in a light show) - Just one person is enough I want that (to receive that kindness) from you

With these incomplete words, we tried to repair and fill in the cracks and gaps With much enthusiasm, we became completely open and honest with each other** These mistakes will (probably) continue to grow and grow But that's because I want to find the best (set of) words (to give you)

Even though I have given you these snowflake-like words As time continues to pass us by, these will probably all overflow, fall out, melt And will completely disappear from our minds, but Just like subtitles, (these words) will accompany us and will always be a part of our story Whenever we look back on these moments (or) whenever we just look at the other without warning (they'll be there) Rather than just loving you on my own, I'll make sure that love reaches you (that's why) I want to continue searching for that thing that will make you feel these (So) Please wait just a little bit more

Even on those freezing nights when you're too sad you don't even want to hear anything I'll (selfishly) be beside you, thinking of various things, just as the snow leaves behind something even when it melts

T/N

*OK this is a little confusing HAHA but I hope this will help in understanding the line. So the previous line was talking in extremes (so much positivity it's almost like it burns; the coldness & harshness) which can cause discomfort in the long run, thus this line kinda says that the speaker wants to give something in between - the literal translation of hinyari atsui mono is a cooler hot object = warm, which is more comfortable for someone.

**the literal translation for "hikarete shimatta kaaten" is "a curtain completely pulled back". This phrase didn't make much sense to me so I tried looking if there is an idiom that would probably explain this, and there actually is! So we can actually interpret this two ways - pulling a curtain open - so you show what's on the other side of the curtain, or you pull a curtain close - like you're hiding the things on the other side. But following the previous line, I felt like it was trying to convey that the speaker and the one being spoken to were trying to bridge the gap between them by being honest to each other, therefore pulling the curtains open so they both see what the other party really feels.
